Royal Golf Dar Es Salam is a premier golf destination in Rabat, Morocco, offering three 18-hole courses and a 9-hole course spread across a sprawling 450-acre estate. Designed by the legendary architect Robert Trent Jones Sr., the courses are carved through a dense cork oak forest, providing a unique and challenging experience with narrow fairways, strategic water hazards, and undulating greens. The Red Course, often used for international tournaments, is the most demanding, while the Blue and Green courses offer more forgiving play. The clubhouse is elegant, with a restaurant, bar, and pro shop, and the setting is serene, with views of the forest and distant hills. Beyond golf, the complex features tennis courts, a swimming pool, and a fitness center, making it a full-service resort for sports enthusiasts. The lush, well-maintained grounds are a stark contrast to the arid landscape often associated with Morocco, offering a cool, green oasis just minutes from Rabat's city center.
